I just said the same thing to my wife, I think it should end at the end of November. It looks like a very fairly run contest.

My guess is that most boats are taken out of the water by then with little consideration for the surf rats that are there til Oct/Nov. |

Problem is the surfrats stand a good chance of catching a cow after the closing date! |

Was wondering what they were thinking also. As if shore fishing for cows wasn't hard enough, they cut-off our best time frame. |

I'm wondering where the weigh stations will be? More importantly, is striped-bass.com considered a club for this tourney?

I asked someone at OTW about the ending date. The big shindig at the end is timed to coincide with the in water boat show on 10/1, and they need 2 weeks to add up all the scores.

It looks ike 2 fish a week at 34" plus. If it goes by a calendar week (meaning the week starts sun- ends sat) and you have to get your fish weighed in before the weigh stations close on saturday, it ought to make for an awful lot of friday all nighters 
Just what I need, more incentive to fish on the weekends.  |

Just a thought, but since the MV derby starts around the 15th of Sept, I was wondering if they did not want to have the overlap. Hmmm, 35 bucks to enter, boat and truck as prizes, big fish get you a key with a luck of the draw to win...I wonder where they got that idea from?  I would like to see them cook up their own unique ideas but....
I welcome it and hope it is successful. It might take a few years but it should be fun. I don't see exactly how it mimics the Schaffer cup but we will see. Do you join as a club or a state? I have not read the rules yet but I will probably toss in my 35 bucks for the helluvit. |
